The Alpha's Hidden Heirs (Selene and Kane)

I turned to find a little girl standing there.

"Hi sir, would you mind if we sat here?" she asked again.

Something about her features seemed familiar. "We? But you're by yourself."

She pointed her tiny finger somewhere. "My brother's over there. Uncle Edmund came with us too.

I didn't bother looking where she pointed. Still, this kid surprised me talking to a stranger about her family without a hint of fear.

Looking at her stirred thoughts of the woman who'd been driving me crazy lately. Just thinking about her made my blood boil.

"Why are you even asking? It's a public space. Sit wherever you want," I muttered irritably.

As I glanced back at Finn, a little boy appeared beside me. "Don't talk to her like that."

His tone was pure warning. I turned to face him.

The kid's eyes blazed with anger.

I was stunned - this little guy staring me down like he was ready to throw down any second. "Excuse me?"

"Why were you being mean to her?" he demanded.

I looked at the little girl, who was frantically waving her hands. "Leo, he wasn't being mean!"

"No, Luna. I saw how he talked to you."

I frowned at the boy. What a pain. Must be the brother she mentioned earlier. They looked like twins.

His glare almost made me laugh. If this kid's father knew who he was challenging, he'd probably die of fear.

Shaking my head, I sighed. "Listen, little boy-"

"Don't call me little. I'm Leo."

"Oh."

I couldn't help but be impressed by his confidence. Kid definitely had alpha blood.

A middle-aged man hurried over, apologizing. "I'm so sorry, sir. They're just children. Please forgive them."

I sized him up. Not their father - probably their butler or caretaker.

"Leo, this uncle isn't bad. Stop picking fights," the little girl said.

"Luna, let me sit here. You can sit between me and Uncle Edmund," Leo told his sister.

I rolled my eyes at the kid's overprotective act. Basically putting himself between me and his sister like

I was some threat.

"What am some kidnapper?" I asked him.

That caught him off guard. The older man chuckled, gesturing for Luna to take a seat while Leo planted himself next to me.

With all flights delayed, everyone was stuck waiting. When I mind-linked Finn, he came back and took the seat next to me.

He looked surprised to find me sitting with kids. I just rolled my eyes.

He handed me his phone. "Here's that post everyone's talking about."

I took it and checked the post Selene had uploaded hours ago.

It was clearly aimed at trashing Ruby's reputation. A straight-up smear campaign.

I scoffed. 'Last night you were fine with everything, telling me you didn't want me. What changed? Now you're posting about our past? Trying to get my attention?'

The boy next to me leaned over to look at Finn. "Uncle, where are you headed?"

I raised an eyebrow. Kid was really acting like I was his only problem, deliberately ignoring me to chat with Finn. Pretty ballsy.

Finn smiled at him. "Heading back to our pack."

Luna looked at me. "What about you, uncle? Which pack are you going to?"noveldrama

Most people thought twice before talking to me, but this girl acted like I was family. These kids had guts. Made me wonder about their parents.

I usually didn't chat with just anyone, but something about these two drew me in.

"The Nightfall Pack," I answered.

Leo's mouth dropped open, but he stayed quiet.

"What's your name?" I asked Luna, though I'd already heard it.

"I'm Luna, and this is my brother Leo."

"Where are you headed?"

"We came to see our mom. We missed her," Leo answered instead of Luna.

Then I heard someone calling from behind.

"Leo! Luna!"

That voice I knew it.

When I turned around, my eyebrows shot up in shock. A young woman stood there. I stood up as Leo and Luna ran to her.

"MOM!"

She wrapped them in a warm embrace. Then her eyes met mine. I stared at her in disbelief. "Selene?" 0 12:38
